Ut3.. Inferno did.

Isn't XNA an API?

^this, and m00kz is making halo weapons into UT3:

Programming halo on top of a different engine, is better than just modding a game using the engine.

You know it would be pretty cool is someone could actually make there own engine that mimics the one Bungie used for Halo 3. It would take forever but it would make so many things that are currently limiting Halo CE possible.

loll

It took Bungie years to develop H3.

Bungie is a world famous professional game design studio with a large amount of experienced workers.
The halo community is a collection of 13-18 year old amateur modders who have little or no idea how to develop a game.

Actually I'm working with an experienced UT3 modder on working Halo weapons into UT3. I'm providing all of the assets and he's doing the scripting, and importing all of the functions (Reload, melee, grenades, etc) and he's going to walk me through the process once it's come to a head.

Its obviously so easy to make a game engine right?

Actualy ive tried and its not that hard as it seems. once you learn the basics you can do it. If you would like to make a game engine You can use what i used C++ it helps out alot. just search for Tuts. on it and your ready to go. Heck making an engine is actualy simpler than modeling i think XD

That's just based on the experience you have. Someone who knows how to model like a god but has no scripting experience is going to think making an engine is harder than modeling :b

I made a game engine in 4 days. It's crappy but it still works.
It's a simple point and click shooter but it goes to show you how easy it is once you learn the ropes.

/\
|| I lol'd.
Ok, now make it suck less.
If you want to make a game engine that's going to sell, you want to put more than 4 days into it. The halo engine may be old, but it still took bungie YEARS to develop.

I was just using that as an example..............

it took less than a year to develop the engine, but 2 years to finish the game.

i think that improving the game engine wouldn't be enough.
the netcode, as well as the way Halo sends and recieves data from players also has to be improved.

Oh please , you can make a game with microsoft powerpoint , nevermind using C++.

How about we make in into one of those "game books!"

You encounter a grunt.

Shoot your assault rifle at coordinates (0,0) Pg 45.
(0,1) Pg 46.
(0,2) Pg 47

Yeah I know it isn't easy notice how I said it would take "forever" as in most likely years. Despite that it would be possible I mean theres gotta be someone who has enough time to give it a try right?

of course it is.
All you need is 700 litres of instant coffee, 2 years of learning how to program an engine, 75 million quarrels with your family over how your obsessiveness with programming is ruining their lives, 75 million bullets in your pistol so that you can shoot the floor or roof or anywhere else to win any quarrel in your family, 500 degrees in shortsightedness caused by 650000 hours of looking at the computer non-stop, 2 million boxes of pizza as well as $50000 dollars spent in software and medical fees from going crazy and starting to shout at passers-by with insults in C++, Java, C, Basic, Actionscript and every other programming language known to humanity and the Covenant.

it SURE is easy.

2 years to make a great game like Crysis and halo 3 and the new stuff

1 day for a flash game.

Like that one guy said scripting comes easy to some people. Curently theres a guy working on a new halo engine idk where he went he may still be around somewhere

OH GOD I AM MAKING A FLASH OLD-STYLE TEXT RPG BASED OFF OF THAT NOW.

You don't know how much I would do for such a good old classic ASCII game =3

I'm saying, Source would be good to base it off of. Because no one with enough math knowledge to program a rendering engine is going to do this, and its open source besides.

speaking of this, is it possible to add a new physics engine to Halo CE, like Havok?

Halo has always used Havok.

Lots can be done if you have good resources and know how to use them. Have fun. PS. im not remaking halo anymore it got boring so im making a racing game. http://www.filesavr.com/halo Use this if you use firefox, for some reason the other one won't load. http://www.filefront.com/14718849/halo.rar Edited by JHOW2 on Oct 14, 2009 at 12:05 AM And yes i am that guy that was remaking it and yes it could work but it is not worth all the legal issues. Not when i could be making my own game and make money off it. A team of people making models for my game would be nice though. Just a thought.
Edited by JHOW2 on Oct 14, 2009 at 12:13 AM

here is a theory, can you rip the physics engine from Halo 2, and put it in Halo CE?

No.

without complicated script talk, why not?

The physics are an intergral part of the game engine and you would have to re-code or rewrite the entire game engine and change the map formats as well. Bungie aready did that twice in Halo 2 and Halo 3 and are doing it again for Halo Reach. It is not not possible to just change a physics engine for a game becasue the entire structure of the game is dependant on the physics engine.

You cant be serious... *facepalm*

you just made my day.
sure if you want Halo:CE to be remade so much with a better engine, and are talented enough and have the time, go join Bungie, be a developer, and persuade them to remake it. Bungie's hiring, you know.

E: Oh and while you're there go create a Halo 4

Where did that info came from? They didn't do it for Halo ODST, where does it states it's done for Reach?
